Psalms 97

1 The LORD reigns, let the earth rejoice; let the distant shores be glad.

1 耶和華作王！願地快樂！ 願眾海島歡喜！

2 Clouds and darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are His throne’s foundation.

2 密雲和幽暗在他的四圍； 公義和公平是他寶座的根基。

3 Fire goes before Him and consumes His foes on every side.

3 有烈火在他前頭行， 燒滅他四圍的敵人。

4 His lightning illuminates the world; the earth sees and trembles.

4 他的閃電光照世界， 大地看見便震動。

5 The mountains melt like wax at the presence of the LORD, before the Lord of all the earth.

5 諸山見耶和華的面， 就是全地之主的面，便消化如蠟。

6 The heavens proclaim His righteousness; all the peoples see His glory.

6 諸天表明他的公義； 萬民看見他的榮耀。

7 All worshipers of images are put to shame—those who boast in idols. Worship Him, all you gods!

7 願一切事奉雕刻的偶像、 靠虛無之神自誇的，都蒙羞愧。 萬神哪，你們都當拜他。

8 Zion hears and rejoices, and the towns of Judah exult because of Your judgments, O LORD.

8 耶和華啊，錫安聽見你的判斷就歡喜； 猶大的城邑 也都快樂。

9 For You, O LORD, are Most High over all the earth; You are exalted far above all gods.

9 因為你－耶和華至高，超乎全地； 你被尊崇，遠超萬神之上。

10 Hate evil, O you who love the LORD! He preserves the souls of His saints; He delivers them from the hand of the wicked.

10 你們愛耶和華的，都當恨惡罪惡； 他保護聖民的性命， 搭救他們脫離惡人的手。

11 Light shines on the righteous, gladness on the upright in heart.

11 散布亮光是為義人； 預備喜樂是為正直人。

12 Rejoice in the LORD, you righteous ones, and praise His holy name.

12 你們義人當靠耶和華歡喜， 稱謝他可記念的聖名。
